These alliances hoped a national chain of rallies would send the message to legislators that the pro-immigrant faction is formidable...
...before over the past three years, in the propaganda game "the enemy information operations machine is very sophisticated, they're constantly beating us to the punch". An American soldier who advised on the scene during the raid pressed the same point. "We could have come out with our side straight away too, but first it has to go up the chain and then come back down," he says.
